DISCUSSION:
Brimming with excitement, this scene translates the lively and entertaining
bull and picador in the central ring of the famed Spanish arena. Oftentimes
the subject of Picasso's many ceramic works, this piece sets itself apart from
the rest, with an incredibly textured surface created by the polychromatic stippling
effect. The simple, block coloration of the bold red, blue, and yellow signify
the swish of the cape, the interior of the arena, and the fiery nature of the
bull. It is an extraordinary effect, as Picasso utilizes the medium of the plate
with its slight concave dimensionality and unfinished surface balanced with
the finished, colored sheen of the bullfight.
Created on July 1, 1959, this round dish is classified as in original print of white, earthenware clay with decoration in engobes under partial brushed glaze and beige patina. Numbered 7/50 in black ink on the reverse, this work is out of a series of eight dishes with varying scenes of the corrida featuring polychromatic stippling throughout the surface of the dish. Stamped on the reverse: 'Empreinte Originale de Picasso.'

ABOUT THE FRAMING:
This resplendent custom frame is the perfect elegant compliment to this remarkable
work. Framing begins with linen wrapped wooden liners that securely hold the
ceramic and allow visibility in the back (to view markings). A contemporary
and elegant varnished gold leaf frame encases the wood liners. The delicate
coloration of the wood moulding perfectly compliments the gentle texture and
color within the terracotta. A heavy weight picture wire is attached to the
frame to ensure a secure hanging. Due to the size and weight of this piece,
we recommend using a heavy duty double nail hook with 100-150 pound weight capacity
(double the weight of the piece to determine hook capacity).
